Chapter 122: Five Wild Boars

Three months later, Eva took Mark out of their humble house for the first time to the bazaar on Little Nicobar Island, 10 kilometres away, where she had previously gone alone.

She had to trade her nets for some necessities, and the island's bazaar was held once half a month, where the locals bartered their goods, and there was little currency to trade, which in Eva's eyes was the preserve of the rich lords.

Eva is very happy today, during this time, with the help of Mark, she has woven twice as many fishing nets as before, and she has thought about it at home, in addition to changing some necessities such as salt and matches, the clay pot for cooking fish soup at home should also be changed to a larger one, Mark's meal is too big, the one at home before, it takes three cans to cook enough for him to drink, fortunately, Mark can catch a lot of fish every day, it seems to be more powerful than Jeff, and he can't see that he just learned.

It should be enough to change a set of clothes for Mark, for the past three months, Mark has been wearing Jeff's shorts, but the top is too small and can only be barebacked.

Eva also has a little selfishness, that is, she doesn't want others to see Mark's body.

Although the men on Little Nicobar Island are dressed like this, Eva is reluctant, she thinks that Mark's body can only be seen by herself, except for Jeff, of course.

"Mark, let's go over there. ”

After changing some rough salt, Eva led the curious Mark to a stall and chose the one that suited him among the several clothes hanging on, like a housekeeper.

"Come and buy it, the freshly roasted wild boar is about to sell out!"

Accompanied by the shouts of the vendors, the smell of meat wafted through the air.

Eva couldn't help but sniff.

It's been a long time since I've eaten meat, and the smell is exactly the same as I remember, and I can't help but drool when I smell it.

Hey, she's just a 15-year-old after all!

The clothes were a little shorter, and they were sold to the local natives, who were generally short in stature, not as tall as Mark.

Eva pulled Mark away quickly, she couldn't resist the temptation of the meat, and she found that Mark seemed to be attracted by the smell of meat.

On the way home, Mark asked Eva what that nice smell was, and Eva told him truthfully, and promised to stay up late to weave more fishing nets after going back this time, buy one at the next market, and wait for Jeff to come back and eat together.

Because there are no natural predators, there are not a few wild boars on Little Nicobar Island, but because of the rough skin and thick flesh of wild boars, fierce nature, and when they come out to forage, they are in groups, so even the hunters on the island are easy not to provoke them, the island's productivity is low and there is a lack of medicine, once injured, it may lead to death, so they would rather catch small animals such as rabbits than take risks, only when someone in the family is sick or when the money is urgently needed for marriage and funeral, they will take a risk, which also leads to the high price of wild boar。

When I was chopping wood in the mountains, I seemed to have seen this animal, just like Eva's description.

Mark thought to himself.

Back at the tree house, the two of them weaved fishing nets, fished, and boiled fish soup as usual.

Eva made a partition in the house with tree bark, she was a girl after all, and it was always difficult to sleep with Mark, and the Western-style education she received from her grandfather taught her from an early age that there was a difference between men and women.

A thin layer of bark could not stop her from talking to Mark, and after walking so far during the day, she said and said, and soon fell asleep, vaguely as if she heard movement next door, but Eva was too tired today to open her eyes.

When she got up in the morning, Eva began to prepare breakfast as usual, and as soon as she came out of the house, she was frightened and called out to Mark.

A huge wild boar lying in the clearing in front of the treehouse.

Hearing her call, Mark hurriedly came out.

"Mark, look, a wild boar!"

Eva cried excitedly, looking at the behemoth in front of her.

This wild boar is afraid that it is 300 pounds, at least 10 hunters will be dispatched together to catch it, thinking of this, the expression on Eva's face is depressed again, she does not dare to snatch their prey from those fierce hunters, in Eva's eyes, hunters are the most powerful people except the rich man.

But Mark actually picked up the knife, apparently intending to divide the boar.

"Mark, don't!"

Although it is not known why the boar is here, Eva knows that Mark's actions will cause them a lot of trouble.

On Little Nicobar Island, there are almost no laws, everything depends on strength, she and Jeff are the people who live at the bottom, and they can only live cautiously, not daring to think anything wrong, and not daring to do anything out of the ordinary.

"I caught the wild boar. ”

Mark didn't raise his head, concentrating on the work at hand, in his opinion, the wild boar in the mountains is the same as the fish in the sea, as long as it is caught, it is his own.

But little Eva didn't believe him at all.

"Mark, you can't do this, it's unearned, it's even worse to lie, my grandfather told me, no matter how poor you are, you have to be an honest person!"

Eva educated Mark with a straight face.

Mark put down his knife, took Eva's little hand, which was a little rough from years of labor, and walked towards the coconut grove 500 meters away.

Coming to the depths of the woods, Mark suddenly stopped, and Eva didn't know why.

"Eva, look!"

Following Mark's direction, Eva looked up and saw four wild boars, large and small, hanging high on the coconut tree with ropes twisted from the bark.

She was stunned by what she saw.

"I caught these things, didn't you say that its meat is delicious?"

Mark's words scared Eva even more.

She had heard people say before that local hunters hunt with arrows, and a wild boar needs to shoot at least 10 arrows to kill, and it also requires very accurate archery and a hunter with very strong strength to do it, but the wild boars in front of her are all skulls collapsed, and they are caused by heavy objects, and they are hanging high on the tree, which is not like a hunter's doing!

"Mark, you said you killed it, then tell me, how did you kill it!"

Eva still doesn't believe that Mark did it, maybe the wild boars were killed en masse on the rocks, and Mark just happened to find it, although the possibility of this kind of thing happening is almost zero, but it is more reliable than saying that he killed it.

Mark punched a coconut tree next to him, only to hear a "bang", the coconut tree with a diameter of 30 centimeters broke in response, and the trunk of the tree more than ten meters high fell to the ground, and the sand raised a large cloud of dust.

Mark brushed the sawdust off his hand and said, "That's how it was killed." ”

Eva stood by with a grin and didn't close her mouth for a long time.

"Mark, you're amazing, are you sent by Jesus to save me and Jeff? Are you God?......"

Eva, who was in a state of panic, held Mark's hand and checked it repeatedly, making sure that there were no wounds except for some redness in the joints, and then turned on the question mode, but Mark's answer made her a little crazy.

"Who is Jesus? You didn't tell me?"

"When it hits me, I hit it with my hands. ”

"I dragged it back from the mountains over there, and I ran several times. ”

"I was afraid that wild beasts would eat it, so I hung it on the tree ......"!

……！

……！

Although it is not clear which god Mark is in the end, Eva has come to believe that the boars were killed by Mark.

Hurriedly instructed Mark to get these wild boars home, they were so heavy that he couldn't drag them.

The image of Mark dragging a wild boar in one hand scares Eva again.

I secretly said in my heart that the god who has lost his memory is also a god.

Today, for the first time, Eva didn't weave a fishing net, and she and Mark cut up the wild boar meat together, and pickled all but what they were going to eat today.

5 wild boars, this is not an easy job, even with Mark's help, Eva is tired enough, but the smile on her face has never stopped, it has not been so happy in a long time.

"Mark, you have to remember that you can't hit people casually, you have to listen to me in the future, come, and eat another piece of meat. ”

Eva is worried that Mark will accidentally hurt someone, he has so much strength that wild boars can kill him, let alone people?

But the amount of food he ate was too terrifying, he killed half of the wild boar in two meals, and he didn't look completely full, so if it went on like this, the 5 wild boars would be eaten before Jeff came back.

Thinking of this, Eva fell into deep worry.
